A phenomenological study of bottom-quark fragmentation in top-quark decay [PDF]
Top-quark physics is one of the main fields of investigation at the Tevatron accelerator and, ultimately, at the LHC. We perform a phenomenological analysis of ttbar events at hadron colliders, with a focus on observables relying on bottom-quark fragmentation in top-quark decay.

Search for two Higgs bosons in final states containing two photons and two bottom quarks in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV [PDF]
: A search is presented for the production of two Higgs bosons in final states containing two photons and two bottom quarks. Both resonant and nonresonant hypotheses are investigated.

Diphoton production in association with two bottom jets [PDF]
We study the production of a photon pair in association with two bottom jets at the LHC. This process constitutes an important background to double Higgs production with the subsequent decay of the two Higgs bosons into a pair of photons and b-quarks ...

Differential decay rates of CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons to top and bottom quarks at NNLO QCD [PDF]
A bstractWe consider the decay of a neutral Higgs boson of arbitrary CP nature to a massive quark antiquark pair at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Our analysis is made at the differential level using the antenna subtraction framework.

Heavy quark effective theory computation of the mass of the bottom quark [PDF]
We present a fully non-perturbative computation of the mass of the b-quark in the quenched approximation. Our strategy starts from the matching of HQET to QCD in a finite volume and finally relates the quark mass to the spin averaged mass of the Bs meson in HQET. All steps include the terms of order Lambda^2/Mb.

The Experiment Road to the Heavier Quarks and Other Heavy Objects [PDF]
After a brief history of heavy quarks, I will discuss charm, bottom, and top quarks in turn. For each one, I discuss its first observation, and then what we have learned about production, hadronization, and decays - and what these have taught us about ...

2b or not 2b: on the rejection of g → b b ¯ $$ b\overline{b} $$ jets
Motivated by new physics models which lead to final states containing a high multiplicity of bottom and top quarks, we develop a tagging strategy to suppress reducible and non-reducible multi-jet backgrounds. The idea takes advantage of the properties of

Bottomonium Continuous Production from Unequilibrium Bottom Quarks in Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions [PDF]
We employ the Langevin equation and Wigner function to describe the bottom quark dynamical evolutions and their formation into a bound state in the expanding Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).

$t\bar{t}b\bar{b}$ hadroproduction with massive bottom quarks with PowHel [PDF]
The associated production of top-antitop-bottom-antibottom quarks is a relevant irreducible background for Higgs boson analyses in the top-antitop-Higgs production channel, with Higgs decaying into a bottom-antibottom quark pair.
